Yep, with my best mate at school. Ripped her earing out. Now has a bigger hole in her ear than there should be. I was only 13 at the time and she'd called my dad a nasty name cos it was raining and he couldn't pick us up from school as he was at work.

Only once I'm not proud- over a man when I was 19 and a went for the rival when I spotted her in a pub looking my way looking all pleased with herself. I won the fight and it didn't last with the bloke anyway - I ended up tipping a pint over his head. Good Lord I'm not like that now!!!

These days, I prefer to do all my fighting on the tennis court, where it's perfectly acceptable to beat people up. Even so, I'd still take a nice civilized match over one where it gets nasty, any day.

No I haven't but my daughter who is so quiet and was always geting bullied at school once did. He brother came home said as usual they had been picking on her, this had gone on from when she was little she was about 13 by now and went to the park and leathered one of the girls. They never picked on her again. Funny that year the teachers said how much more confident she had becme little did they know. Although very quiet she and her brother used to play fight all the time and she was used to playing rough. These girls are always so friendly now but as she says I remember how they made my life a misery. Germaine x

I hate violence but I still carry scars from my teenage years when I was on the receiving end of a fist. Gwyn

not that im proud of it but yes....i used to get picked on so much! one day this girl who had picked on me for years followed me home to my nans house, as i got outside she kicked me so i turned round and beat 10 bells out of her....nan came out and dragged me in...thought i was in for a right telling off, but when my mum got home she cuddled me and said well done cos it was the first time i ever stuck up for myself! After that i did get a little too big for my boots and ended up with temper problem, if i saw someone being picked on id go over and thump the bully, same as if anyone even said something nasty to me id end up in a fight! Got to a point though where i knew i needed help cos i was losing my temper and getting violent way too easily!! So now im sorted, havent had a fight since College (3 years) and DONT intend on having one...unless Aarons ex dont leave us alone! But i think thats why i get so emotional and cry easily, cos i have no other way of letting my anger out so i just cry lol!! x

I fight all the time, semi-contact though.....well, I am a second dan black belt in taekwondo AND an instructor. I have to set an example now don't I?!!!!!

After 24 years service in the RN Ive probably had my share, but the hardest thing to do is walk away from a fight. These days the nearest thing to a fight is doing my Tai Chi, mind you I did get done up by a granny at one session, she got to enthusiastic, just as well it wasnt the sword routine, some of these old girls get carried away with it sometimes :-)))))lol Len

Bless yer Steph - you have your temper under control now - well done for that!! My sister used to have a vicious temper - ended up having a fight in the CHILDREN'S Room of a pub (with another Mum)- which she was very ashamed about afterwards! She then went to Docs and he gave her tablets for PMT - been OK since! ;o)) Kim x
